| Questions
and answers regarding river preservation |
| Q:
You're just jealous of rich people, aren't you? |
| A:
Hardly. |
| We
believe that one of the things that makes America the best place in
the world to live is the fact that anyone can go out and make a pile
of money, and use it to enjoy life as they wish. |
| However,
another thing that's great about this country is (as the old saying
goes) that anyone can swing his fist as much as he wants to, but his
right to do so ends where somebody else's nose begins. |
| Some
individual desires must be subordinate to the common good; that is
just one the facts of life when you're part of a community. |
| And
what's more important in the end: an individual's desire to have a
damn dock (no matter how long, or whether it's appropriate for the
location, or if it will get in other people's way) - or to have a
huge house situated so everyone can gaze upon it with envy for their
unobstructed view of the river - or the preservation of "one
of the last great places in America?" |
| You
decide. It's your river. |
